2007 Dreams - SC

So far do you know what is all that FC n SC about ? Never mind, I'll tell you in my last post of this 2007 Dreams series ... Now my report on what's happening in December.

I remembered I was so excited to be back to KL. The city I missed the most after spending 20 years of my life over here.. haha.. Well, Singapore is a nice country but it is always better when you are with your family right?

Gatherings, Tea Session, Supper time ... all those times i spent with old friends were just nice. It's good to be back to KL. Then me n my family went back to our kampung in Penang during my first weekend holidays. I took a lot of pictures but these few pretty sum it all up.

My Brother running in my old kampung house...

Don't say you don't where is this...

Then for the rest of the holidays i was trying to waste my time with more meaningful things to do but i think I failed to do so loh ... haha ... I watched the whole Prison Break Season 1 TV Series in just 3 days... then I went for a national youth camp at Port Dickson from 21st Dec to 24th Dec. It was suffering yet fun ... haha ... (sounds like I loved being tortured.. =.=") Really.. It was very very fun!!! The games they arranged were very creative and nice!! Post some photos first ... more photos I will update once I got the photos CD from the organiser. See.. I asked you all to join me but no one want... haha... i had all the fun by myself ... hehehe... got some disgusting games we played like those in Fear Factor ... e.g: removing a dry bread from a bowl of maggots ... by using only your mouth or lips... ;-) ... and ... omg... muntah...

Group 9 - the 'cream puff'

see how huge the camp is!!!

Hahaa ... then you know what? the day I finished the camp, it was the day my family had their vacation in Port Dickson with my father's company... haha ... so I just needed to wait and my family came and fetch my to their resort... hehehe ... imagine HELL and HEAVEN ... hehe ... i knew it was suffering in the camp hence this vacation gave me some time to relax ... haha .. very nice resort (i heard it was a 5 stars hotel) ... the company sponsored so never mind lo ... haha

Year 2007 = 2007 Dreams - FC

I can't list them out. But I knew I got more than enough to show that out. After the happy December, need to readjust back my life. Being left by my family just half hour ago, now I am back to my hostel sitting and wondering. Lots of things to think about.

Give you a brief report of what had happened so far since Nov 2006.

I finished my exam on 28th Nov 2006. The last paper was Materials Science and it was ok. Then that nite was crazy play until very late... At last I fell asleep coz couldn't tahan plus my friend Chee Leong was going to visit me the next day. So... ZZzZZzzz



Joanne (left) and Chee Leong together with their photographer (me) at Newton's place on 29th Nov. Kena tiok gau gau ... (means being charged more expensive lo...) and we didn't realise that we had ordered ALL spicy food before the food was served in front of us. OMG... Imagine that from their faces. Haha ... cannot tahan... at last we didn't manage to finish everything... sweat ... but it did give a lot of spice into our journey.

29th Nov : NTU -> Lavender (pick Chee Leong up) -> NTU -> R affles Place MRT -> walk to City Hall MRT through Singapore River, Merlion and Esplanade -> Orchard MRT (met Joanne and walk) -> Newton's Place -> NTU



Imagine those paths all done by pure walking and standing in MRT ... ...



30th Nov : NTU -> Expo (some exhibitions) -> Vivocity {at this point we realised that we couldn't walk anymore} -> Jurong Point -> NTU {some how we managed to get back to our room and had supper.. hahaha}

1st Dec : NTU -> Jurong East {met Chee Leong's friends in AUS} -> Science Centre {we never make into it since we thought we were not kids anymore} -> McD {somehow we think that McD were for everyone and not just for kids} -> NTU -> Lavender -> MALAYSIA （very very rush until i forgot to do many things before going back, you'll know when i wrote about it in later post... lol)

The End The Beginning

Explorace anyone?

I just had my dental exam on Wednesday. It consists of MCQ, SAQ (short-answer questions), and OSPE (objective structured practical examination).

The MCQ and SAQ was okay (but I fell sick the day right before the exam, an extremely inappropriate time to be sick, really. Had a raging headache, blocked nose, burning sore throat and was unable to sleep. Ouch. Haha)

What I really want to talk about is the OSPE. We are given diagrams, teeth, pictures of diseases etc, then must label, and answer questions. It was like being in some sort of wacky game show quiz, albeit plus an extra load of fear of the unknown…. Hey, this is an exam, man, not just a game!

Actually in this exam, there are 14 stations of questions. The candidate must go through all of them, given only 3 minutes on each question. There is a bell that rings every 3 minutes, and you MUST leave your place when it rings, or you’ll be blocking someone else, as well as get scolded, or worse, kicked out of the lab.

Imagine our old lab in Cochrane. The big tables in our lab are just like that, just newer and with many weird machines and contraptions like those you find in a dental clinic….

So we must move from table to table every 3 minutes, in one circle around the lab lor…
(Oh add one thing, we must wear our white coat in this exam, like real doctors! First time, you know! Haha wish I had time to take a picture…)

3 minutes is quite long, right? WRONG!! Imagine if you’re given two extremely ugly teeth ( I mean they are discoloured, slightly broken and has barely recognizable features…) And you need to identify both of them, write down their numbering and name, then give SIX differences between them! In 3 minutes! Most of us barely had the time to make out what the teeth were, then write only a few words, and the bell has tolled for us….

Some questions, like the one I mentioned above, we had way too little time, but others, there was too much time, so those who had finished just sat around watching the others sweat and panic…. Hehee

To be honest, if it had not been an exam, it would have been really fun and funny, not to mention exciting…. Something like Explorace, only you race around the lab instead of the city… Hahahha

NTU Hungry Ghost Festival

Hmm... what if you are a little bit kiasu plus afraid of exam? Well... that makes you on the march of hungry ghost to the ghost gate during this Ghost Month (exam month) !! Each time when I wanted to find a place in library ... walao ... cannot find a place ... so weird ... why so many people ... why all people must study in library de ?? then got some table only got bags ... ... chiu .. reserved places ... yea.. tell you ... got some people just come to library n put their bags then go out eat la ... take shower la ... ... do whatever la ... then syok syok only come back study .. but still wanna reserved/hog a seat .. sorry .. A SEAT = A LONG TABLE ... ... coz the guy spreaded his/her notes all over the table ... wtf ...

So after reading Wai Jin post ... yea ... dunno whether only this happens to Singapore University or just every university in the world ... how about your university ? Did this happen ?? Watch below for the Hungry Ghost Festival in Nanyang Technological University ...

Tell you ... that library is the biggest library in my campus. However, if compare to the whole population of students in university, it is no way to fit all of us ... haha ... i rarely went there study lo .. mostly in my room or else in the other libraries ... more peaceful ... hmm ...

Then for my Physics paper ... ... Summary : haih

ok .. got onje more paper to go ... see you guys next weekend !!

Organic Chemistry Nightmare

hi guys it's me again.. sorry la.. tension...so i have to keep posting to make myself feel better.. hehehe... just finish my organic chem paper... ok... organic chem ma.. learnt be4 d la.. yea yea.. u r rite for half of it.. of course this is university level la.. u have to learn MUCH MORE from what u've learnt in form 6... ok so the last term paper i failed.. though it just contributes to 10% but it really slapped me on the face.. nvr even failed so terribly be4.. so i decided to use my whole week of study week to study organic chem...(actually nvr touched be4 this... tat's y fail terribly...padan muka..) so how did i study for org chem? it's so tension la.. let's see sum photos.. so this is my cupboard.. what are the papers over there? let's have a closer look...
ok.. we saw some scribbles.. still not clear right? look closer then...

ok.. so u can see now... the papers are the functional groups.. and the arrows? well i guess u noe what're they.. thanks for pn lee's teaching.. oh yea.. i miss pn lee so much when i learnt this module.. another pic..

oh yea.. i WROTE on the cupboard.. with pencil.. long time din conteng d.. hahah.. now got chance.. so nice... but later have to clean up myself lo.. wuwuwuwu... nvm la... worth it... here's my exam paper...

so that's all for today.. oh yea before that... today i realised.. there're 1000++ students taking exam together with me today.. in the exam hall.. so u can imagine.. how many ppl..and that is just one hall.. there're 6 halls there.. so u can count... 1 shot got how many ppl taking exams... in that small place.. -.-"

TTFN.....

Exams in NUS

gosh.. i've nvr seen so many ppl in NUS before.. it's so saturated with ppl studying all around. i mean everywhere... yes everywhere! the libraries are full with ppl... each n every table... for ur information.. there are a few libraries in NUS...and libraries in NUS consist of few floors with lotsa table.. then the study rooms, lounges, tv rooms... all are full with humans holding books... even at the corridors.. the benches.. canteens.. gosh.. basically anywhere u can find a table, there'll be human studying there... crazy...

another thing...the bus.. fuiyo.. crazy.. coz everybody is going to the same destination, which is the multi purpose sports hall, the buses are soooo full with human... i mean, even at the 1st stop, ppl cant even squeeze themselves into the bus.. crazy... NUS is really crazy...

i felt so suffocated.. really suffocated.. a lot of ppl... and a lot of robotic ppl... and u noe..singapore has limited space.. even in the exam halls.. the space btw the tables are so small.. u can even see the answers of the one sitting next to u CLEARLY.. yes.. it's just for a medium-sized invigilator to walk through.. oh yea as boon said, when u r having exams,look left,right,front or back.. and u might not see anyone u know...

and NUS has so limited space that even the hostels' function halls are exams venues.. crazy.. imagine the place u r staying are having exams and u cant make noise.. oh yea.. everybody is studying, so nobody will make noise..

ok so now i'm having finals.. u will not know how 'good' the life here...as u see in my msn nickname, there's no day or night...wake up, eat , study, eat again, study again, study again.. tired d nap a while.. study again.. study again .. study again.. basically i also dunno what am i studying.. feel so stressed out.. no wonder ppl name NUS as National University of STRESS... with smart and hardworking robots around...

today is just the 1st day of my exam.. 1 week+ to go... haih.. i cannot imagine how am i going to tahan here for 4 years... insane... lifeless.. breathless.... oh yea.. and moodless... coz u cant be moody.. once u r moody, there goes ur day... and guilt will cover u coz u will think ur coursemates have been studying.. and gosh.. the singaporeans.. not staying in campus.. also purposely come back to study... tat's y u see the libraries are sooooooooo full of ppl..

so now u noe why i still feel the same after taking a breath n rest fr studies... in fact, will feel worse aft walking out...

oh yea, btw the study week and exam periods they will give out a lot of free biscuits and coffee.. just to let u stay awake thruout the nite.. and they will open the study rooms 24 hours.. and they even open some of the lecture theatres till 12am.. and some floors of the libraries too.. 24 hours...

so this is NUS... i've really nvr seen such a study culture before... where the students really STUDY the whole day.. their butts not leaving the chairs unless to dine or toilets... -.-"

| P | I | Z | Z | * | | F | * | N | T | * | S | Y |

What's wrong with the title?? why is something missing there?? haha ... i received an sms from WJ few days ago with all the *A* missing in a message .. it was nice .. because all the disappeared As are going to appear in our report cards!!! yeah!! that's true!!! haha ... haihzzz ... 12days n counting down.. to the day i come back to KL .. c u all ... now struggling with Physics .. who asked me to go for engineering ?? what the hell .. haha ... didn't prepare really well ... tis time exam SUI SUI lo ... haha ..

i had my English Proficiency last Wednesday .. my first paper .. hmm.. not very difficult .. can say it's a test to raise my confident gua?? let me get used to the style of examination system in NTU .. first time got into the exam

hall .. it was in the indoor basketball court ... and it was so big and cold ... walao ... i could feel the differences between university exams and the exams that we used to have .. you turn your head around and you could hardly find someone you know ... haih ...




Then last Friday was Maths paper .. tell you this was the second most freaking paper i felt .. why? Honestly i was good in Maths (tak malu but it's true.. lol) and so i was too tense and afraid that i would not score well and fail it .. really ... omg ...

then without too much realised the time i spent in libraries .. and it's the second i was going to sit my Maths paper in Auditorium ... since this is a compulsory subjects for ALL engineering students hence this was one of the HUGE n BIGGEST crowd examination subjects ... haha ... i think the seats got around 600-800 ... if not mistaken ... all within the foyer of the auditorium ...

anyway it didn't help much ... i was too panic that i could realise my panic was too overwhelmed when i tried to take out my matric card for examination ... i saw my hands shaking ... omg it was not a good sign ... i started off the exam with panic and tension but it got more relax in the midway of exam ... afterall .. haih ... i think i am OK ... the score may not be nice since i still do not know the grading system for my U but anyway .. it had passed at least ... ... woof ... oh ya .. tell you what... i made a very stupid mistake tat this was the second time i made in my life ... but this time was ok coz the mistake won't be affecting my score like LAST TIME (u wan to know what's last time?? nah.. i won't tell you now) ... the Maths exam started on 2.30pm... and all the way i was doing so fast that i was so afraid that i couldn't finish all the questions .. so fast fast n fast ... and at the last questions .. (after skipping a few) i saw the clock shown 4.24pm ... omg ... i said to myself... i got only 6 minutes to do the checkings .. so i quickly flipped through the pages ... ... and redo those questions that i couldn't finish ... ... then the minute hand of the clock touched the number '6' ... i looked around ... no movement ... i was like "e? issit the exam being extended?? issit the professor knew it was too hard?? (it wasn't too hard actually.. juz tat i din read enough)" .. so without hesitate i flipped back to first page ... ... DURATION : 2 1/2 Hours ... WHAT?! ... haha ... and so i got extra half an hour to check the answers ... so WU LONG ... maybe too panic gua ... actually i knew it's 2 and half hour but it happened that i forgot about it ... anyway i think u hav no interest to see my Maths questions ... so let's move on ...

ok.. so my next paper will be life science and physics .. honestly the MOST FREAKING paper goes to PHYSICS ... haha .. sounds crazy right?? anyway i will try my best ... and face the truth .. then next sem gambatte again!!! tonite .. juz now had a wonderful dinner ... guess what?? me n my friends ordered pizzas!!! wow ... haha .. first time eat pizzas in Singapore .. hehe ... it's Canadian Pizzas .. buy one free one ... so we tried lo ...

sorry hehehe .. after finish eating then only realise need to take some photos .. haha ... the pizzas finish liao so take some model shoots lo ... haha ...

total was SGD 42 for 7 people (one person around 2 1/2 BIG slices.. plus one CHEESE ball.. free one Pepsi) ok ok lo.. juz not tat nice compared to Pizza Hut (but i dunno how's PH taste in SG) ... CHEAP MA .. what to expect?? hahaha ... experience more important ... hahaha ...

so relax ?? yea lo ... dunno arh ... kinda feel a bit giving up ... hahahaha ... no la ... fight until die die also must score oh ... ... it's ok to score no A then not to try the best right ?? if all the people here so geng until i gave my best also cannot get A then i will accept my fate .. hahaha ... in the end .. it doesn't even matter ... so .. i end my post with tis ..
